Community Movie, rescheduled to this Friday from two weeks ago, when it was postponed by weather.
Join us for our Friday Night Movie in Pleasants Park as we watch the classic, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Free Refreshments Served: Grilled hotdogs, sides, desserts, and beverages. Enjoy a night under the stars with friends and family in our wonderful community space.
Tomorrow is a “Red Wednesday”, which means trash and recycling pickup.
Please go over what can be recycled.
NOTE: CVWMA (Central Virginia Waste Management Authority) has announced that all curbside recycling must now be INSIDE the CVWMA containers with lid closed. Items beside the container or on top of it will not be collected. In fact, incorrect setouts may not be collected at all. This is new as of July 1 for all our curbside recyclers, with the exception of townhomes/condos still using small bins. (And yes, this also applies to flattened cardboard boxes.)
Ideally, rolling recycling containers are stored and deployed in the back alleys along with trash cans. Please make sure you pick up containers after pickup tomorrow night. More CVWMA information can be found at this link:

Highlights of Hollywood Cemetery Walking TourOn a spectacular bluff overlooking the James River, Hollywood Cemetery has been the final resting place of some of Virginia’s most prominent citizens since 1847.
Join the most experienced guides in Richmond as we explore the graves of rebels and rockers, politicians and Pulitzer prize winners; and, of course, two U.S. Presidents: James Monroe and John Tyler. Also, learn about the 18,000 Civil War dead buried in Hollywood and the cemetery’s complicated legacy as a shrine to the Confederacy.
Advanced tickets are required. Tickets are non-refundable.

Cherry Street may have never looked better.
A lot of times, there are cars lining the Hollywood Cemetery fence, but not this evening.
Looking forward to more flowers on the Parsons Linear Park’s ‘Bee Crossing’.
Storm clouds to the west as viewed from the Overlook.

In recycling news, Virginia Tech researchers have developed a new, recyclable circuit made with a durable polymer called vitrimer.
The hope is that this will eventually lead to keeping more electronics out of landfills.
